This identifier profile defines a (MRN) (sometimes referred to as unit record number (URN) or (UR)) in an Australian context.
An MRN is an institution’s identifier for a patient’s record at that institution. A patient may have more than one MRN for a single institution due to organisational restructures.
It is preferable that an organisation uses their own local system identifier namespace but if that is not available then an organisation can use their ABN or HPI-O to construct a legal globally unique identifier system for their local identifiers.
See the Australian Digital Health Agency’s R4 FAQ for guidance on constructing an ABN-scoped[1] MRN or an HPI-O scoped[2] MRN.
